Hide API Keys & Environment Variables During Demos
Live coding, pair programming, and pull request reviews put your screen on display. ContextBlur keeps secrets out of view.
Developers share their screen more than almost anyone. Sprint demos, client presentations, conference talks, pair programming sessions, and live debugging all involve showing your browser. But your browser also has admin panels with credentials, AWS consoles with account IDs, environment configuration pages, and internal URLs you shouldn't be sharing. One click with ContextBlur hides these from view.
You're doing a live demo to a client. The AWS console is open in another tab with production credentials and account numbers visible.
AWS account IDs and credential fields are blurred. You can navigate the console freely during the demo without exposing secrets.
During a conference talk, you switch to your IDE's terminal and it shows environment variables with API keys in the output.
Terminal output elements containing sensitive strings are pre-blurred. Your audience sees the workflow, not the keys.
A pair programming session requires showing your admin panel, but it lists internal user emails and account details.
User lists and account details are blurred. You focus on the code and UI logic without worrying about PII.
What developers typically blur
- API keys and access tokens
- Environment variables in terminal output
- AWS/GCP/Azure account IDs and credentials
- Database connection strings
- Internal URLs and staging environments
